complete kitchen renovation - outstanding results!!

Working with Lee was the best decision we could have made for our kitchen renovation. Our project was a big one – complete gut and redesign in a 100 year old house. Lee was fantastic to work with and exceeded our expectations on all fronts, from the initial design phase, demolition, renovation and right through to the final details. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and was able to anticipate potential challenges, accurately budget the project, execute perfectly according to schedule and keep us informed throughout the whole project. His attention to detail is impeccable – the final product looks like a completely custom kitchen, no one can believe it is Ikea. Lee took down a partition wall to open up the back of the kitchen, removed a drop ceiling, made custom pull outs underneath the cabinets for baking sheets, customized the cabinets around our fridge and microwave so they look built in, installed under cabinet lighting, built a full pantry, and worked with all the imperfections of an old house to make sure everything is perfectly level. We are thrilled with the final results, and a few months later the excitement still hasn’t worn off. His partner Danny, and the subcontractors he brought in were all excellent. In addition to the kitchen, we also hired Lee to do custom drawers underneath our stairs for extra storage, which turned out beautifully. A big factor in making the experience so positive for us was Lee’s personality. Renovations can be extremely stressful and Lee’s patience, kindness, honesty and optimism were invaluable to us.

We would highly recommend Lee and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Expert design and installation

I made an appointment with Lee to come and measure and design my Ikea kitchen. I had some ideas, but the design he came up with not only increased the size of my kitchen usable space, but looks really high end. You do the ordering and arranging for the Ikea delivery, but he creates the list for you to order the goods, so you’re not left wondering what to get. You are also responsible for purchasing things like flooring and tiles, but he installs all. His work is excellent. He is not the contractor that comes in the house, grunts and does the minimum but the guy that does that little extra almost like it’s his own home. Lee and his helper Danny were so incredibly pleasant to have around, always a smile and nice to the kitty Kimchi. Lee arranged for the bins and the electrician that he brought in did a fantastic job. I used the company Rockstella that he recommended for the countertops and they were incredible to deal with also. All was seamless and no stress at all. He is an excellent problem solver as I found out with my old house, that has quirky corners and doors that won’t move. The finish work is fine carpentry. He came in on budget and on time. He is incredibly organized and skilled. I cannot recommend Lee enough.

Window Bench

We have had Lee build us a kitchen pantry before which we loved and we recently had him build us a window bench. Lee was professional as usual, on time and did a great job.

He built the bench similar to what we liked and took care of the little things like making a functional and stylish looking extension to the floor vent that was going to get covered by the bench.

We will not hesitate to use Lee again!

Master at Work

After working with several Kitchen Design companies (non Ikea), the design journey became extremely frustrating as their kitchen designers were ignoring my plans for how I wanted to use my new kitchen.

Taking a break from the custom route, I decided to see how Ikea would interpret my design. I liked the functionality of the product but the design company Ikea sent out to work up a plan were mediocre and I knew I would have to settle on a kitchen design that was routine.

At that point I knew the Ikea product was what I wanted to use, however, I needed to find an independent contractor who could deliver the vision I wanted. In walked Lee. A master of his craft, with more than 10,000 hours of experience and when he asked me the simple question" how do you want to use your kitchen", I was hooked. I had already looked at pictures of his finished product on his website so I knew he was skilled. Every design feature I through at him, he would say to me I can make that happen and he fully delivered on that. From building my toast station, to a full cabinet wall with a drawer for table linens and a space to add a charging station. Pull out drawers that house all my appliances, a wall slot for cutting boards etc. Lights in all drawers, cabinets and a touch sensitive garbage door rounded it out. Working with Lee was easy and within a week he had the bulk of the kitchen installed. A second visit once the kitchen counters were in allowed him to finish the full cabinet wall. An outstanding experience from start to finish!
